Avildsen shot hours of footage of the tournament from multiple angles
Story
Decades after their fight at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence meet again as martial arts rivals. During the original filming of The Karate Kid, the late director John G. The team behind Cobra Kai dug through the studio vault and found a ton of never-before-seen clips, which they were able to introduce into the series via flashbacks. One of them includes Zabka’s real-life mother, who was in the stands from different angles that weren’t seen until 2018.
Ralph Macchio told Uproxx that there are three new angles of the famous crane kick
Many people believe that Miyagi’s name on his tombstone is a continuity error, as in Karate Kid 4 (1994) his name is stated as Keisuke, but it was actually previously shown on a plaque being held for him by Chozen in Karate Kid 2 (1986) as Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid that changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept the name previously given to him. Another interesting fact, however, is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not the original first name given to Miyagi. In Karate Kid (1984), it can be briefly seen on Miyagi’s dog tags, attached to the keys of the 1948 Ford given to Daniel for his birthday, that Miyagi’s first name is Hideo.
But this is so much more than that
Featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kiry Shabazz (2018). I didn’t have many expectations going into this show, or at least, I didn’t have high expectations. The ones I had were a fun low-budget adventure down memory lane. The production values are great, the cast is great, the plot, the writing, the tone, the pacing, the soundtrack.
Miyagi taught us, balance
It’s all great from start to finish and has what Mr. It seems to hit so many right notes without forcing anything too far, the comedy is perfect, the emotional moments are perfect, the cheese, the action, is perfect. It also does a great job of letting the viewer decide who the real heroes and villains are because unlike the movies, nothing here is black and white. If you’ve seen the movies, you’ll really like this one.
If you haven’t, you’ll probably like it anyway
It stands on its own and feels modern, but as a continuation 30 years later, it does so masterfully and very respectfully to its past and its source without relying too much on it. BANSAI!!!
